I am very much enjoying my Galaxy watch 6 classic. I'm having trouble fully understanding wear os. So basically, we lose access to all of our tizen watch faces and have to repurchase the ones we can on Google play? I noticed that a couple of the watch makers that I buy watch faces from are also on Google play. But now, I find myself having to repurchase every watch face a had before because I switch from tizen to wear os. So how on earth does this work? I'm I able to somehow still use my old purchased watch faces I got from the Samsung store app? Or, is it a complete loss and I have to rebuild my watch face library through Google play due to wear os?

The old watch faces would not be compatible with the new watches.  Unfortunately, you will have to repurchase new faces.  Even though the faces may look the same (even be by the same designer), they have been updated to work with WearOS.  You are always welcome to switch to any of the free, stock faces.  I can't imagine what would be so special about any watch face that it's worth paying for when there are any number of functional and customizable free stock faces available in the Wear app.

How did you connect your watch to your phone?  You need the Wear app to do so in order for it to integrate with the phone.

Oh, wait...I have the wear app. When you said wear os app, it the me off. I noticed I no longer use the Samsung Galaxy store app for watch apps or anything watch related for this watch as well. I also have no clue at how to update my watches apps. I'm just lost. Lol! I'm 43. šŸ¤¦šŸ¤¦šŸ¤¦

To find the stock watch faces, open the Wear app and then tap on watch faces, you will see a variety of watch faces, most of which you can customize in some way, such as adding "complications" like weather, messages, battery indicator, step count.  They have analog and digital faces and you can even add your own photo to make a truly custom face.
